The Library will Present a Seminar on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid on January 27

Whether your student is in 8th grade, 12th grade or somewhere in between, it's never too early or too late to plan for college costs. Daniel Patti CFP® of DMP Asset Management returns to present "FAFSA 101" on Monday, January 27 at 7 p.m.

The seminar will cover topics such as, why everyone should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); what documents you will need; key dates not to miss - federal, state and individual school deadlines; and how to improve your chance of getting aid.

The FAFSA is the 'common' aid application, much like the common application for college. The application process is managed by the office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) which provides grants, loans, and work-study funds for college or career school. FSA offers more than $150 billion each year to help millions of students pay for higher education. Federal Student Aid is responsible for managing the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. These programs provide grants, loans, and work-study funds to students attending college or career school.

This program is open to students and their parents at no charge, no registration required and will be held in the Greenwich Library Meeting Room. For more information, email the Teen/YA Librarian or call 203-622-7915. To learn more about FAFSA visit www.fafsa.ed.gov.
This program is made possible through the support of the Greenwich Library Board of Trustees and contributions by generous donors.
